I’m back!

As some of you already know, my site recently crashed (and burned). Thanks to some help from my family and friends, my readers, my fellow bloggers, and my techie friends, I am in the process of restoring all of the content from the old Vintage Victuals.

I have all my recipes, writing, and photos stored in Google Reader and will be slowly re-posting all of your favorite VV recipes. Unfortunately, I am unable to restore the wonderful comments that you all shared on each of my posts, but I'm sure we'll build those back up over time.

Please bear with me as I work to restore VV to its former glory. Thank you for your patience and your support!

Dawg Balls

Okay, so there’s a story behind the name of these cookies. I got this wonderfully delicious cookie recipe from the lovely, talented, and resourceful friend Hayley because I was looking for a festive cookie to take to a tailgating party before a Georgia Bulldogs football game. (Go Dawgs!) My hubby saw me making these the morning of the party, and when he saw me rolling the chocolate balls of dough in red sprinkles, he said, “What are you making?!? Dawg balls?!?” And I said, “Yes!”

And that is how this cookie’s name came to be.

These have been such a hit everywhere I’ve taken them, and they are great for making with kids, too! They love to roll the dough in the sprinkles. They can be made with or without the chocolate kisses – both ways are wonderful. And you can change the color of sprinkles to match your team, or to match whatever holiday you are celebrating. The outer edges of the cookie are crispy while the middle stays nice and chewy – and the subtle Nutella flavor is totally addictive!
